I'm assuming Dragon Lee is going to move to ROH or New Japan full time. Assuming Mistico II won't be far behind as both his brothers have been fired.

CMLL are huge Matt Taven fans.

Dragon Lee I half-expected because allegedly he was expressly forbidden from competing at PWG's BOLA but still did it. Not sure the story there if Dragon Lee already had the booking and CMLL told him at the zero hour to cancel, but it has been making the rounds.
RUSH - however - complete surprise, especially since it seemed he was on the track for a lucha de apuestas hair-vs-mask match with La Parka in January.
Unless...any chance this is all a giant work?

Dragon Lee is my guy. I’d love to see his profile rise to even greater heights now.

Well, this is a blind side. I doubt either guy is going to be hurting for work. Like, Rush is ROH champion now, so even if CMLL squeezes ROH, they would be unlikely to drop him.
Lee, same deal with NJPW. I don't see them dropping him, but if they do, he's going to be able to go just about wherever.

I almost want to see Dragon Lee just rename himself "Dragonly."

I assume with Rush being ROH Champion he's out, but I would love to see Dragon Lee in AEW if he was able, he'd get some amazing matches with the roster that's there already

Hearing RUSH's new name is El Blanco Toro.

I#'m very curious as to the know-on effect this has on NJPW. Both RUSH and Dragon Lee are closely associated to LiJ (With RUSH gone, are Los Ingobernables even still a thing in CMLL?), and I guarantee you that Hiromu/Dragon Lee would have resurfaced after his return.

That's some big news. No doubt their getting offers from every promotion right now
New Japan loves Dragon Lee and would want to keep him around regardless of CMLL's opinion.
Speaking of which, Rush and Lee are gone but Big Daddy Yum Yum has joined CMLL

Have a feeling Dragon Lee might not get many opportunities with New Japan going forward as they have a stronger relationship with CMLL than they do ROH now. Rush should be fine especially as he's now ROH Champion.

Don't know much about CMLL so my apologie. Lots of talk why Dragon Lee is gone, but any thoughts of RUSH? Timing seems suspect.

Don't know much about CMLL so my apologie. Lots of talk why Dragon Lee is gone, but any thoughts of RUSH? Timing seems suspect. Meltzer claims they just got their guarantees cut by CMLL, and were about to quit anyways. Rush and Bestia might have already sent notice before the public firing. Sounds like the firings were an attempt to save face. Mistico is apparently staying because he doesn’t have a US work visa, so his best way to make a living in Mexico is stick with CMLL. EDIT: Also, while Paco’s daughter is the boss apparently her uncle (I think, I’m not a Lucha expert) who controls the finances and made the call to up booking fees and cut guarantees which led to this

And just like that CMLL lost the potential of putting on the biggest match in Mexico.
They spent so long slow burning to it and now LA Park Vs. Rush: Mask Vs. Hair is going to happen in some other place, and make them a ton of money, and CMLL is going to be left in the cold.
I'm starting to think CMLL Isn't very bright.
